In order to be confident about the results of computer simulations, Red Bull compares them with practical investigations. They are disappointed if the results are more than 5% apart from computer predictions.

The results of CAD should be treated sceptically and require a lot of interpretation and real world comparison. Ultimately the engineer's experience and judgement are more important than information generated via computer models.
